"the marvel of glass... protecting without imprisoning... being somewhere and being able to observe everything, having a roof to view the sky... a sensation of being inside and outside at the same time ... astuteness, nothing but astuteness... if you desire something but are afraid, all you have to do is place glass in-between... the object and you... it remains secure yet can be approached... There's nothing more... I put pieces of the world under glass so they can be saved... desires can take refuge inside... far away from fear... a marvelous and transparent shelter... "
Alessandro Baricco, Castelli di Rabbia, 1996
